This can only be a very broad estimate (no-one knows the real answer):

There are somewhere around 50,000 beekeepers. They will each have anything from one to several hundred hives, but let's say the average is ten. That would give us something like 500,000 hives.

In each hive, in summer, there are probably around 50,000 bees. Although this figure does vary through the year.

On that basis there must be around 25,000,000,000 bees, but remember this is a guess, and doesn't include feral colonies -- and we have no idea how many there are of those...
